AddRenko() problem

[qqqdog]

protected override void Initialize()
{
AddRenko("YM 03-17", 3, MarketDataType.Last);
Overlay= true;
DrawOnPricePanel = true;
}

/// <summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
/// </summary>
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if(BarsInProgress == 1 ){
DrawTextFixed("Tag1", "TEST", TextPosition.BottomLeft);
}
}


Any Idea why this isn't working?

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

Could you provide the error you are getting or result you are seeing that is not correct?

The syntax seems to look correct so I would need to know more details on what is happening or what is not happening to further assist.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

My text does not appear with the above code. I have tried moving the DrawTextFixed() method outside of the if statement and it still does not work. This leads me to believe OnBarUpdate() is not being called. If I comment out the AddRenko() line, OnBarUpdate() gets called and my Text appears in the bottom left.

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.

Yes this would be a good observation, likely something surrounding the data request is holding the script from continuing.

Can you look in the Control Center -> Logs tab, and also the Tools -> Output window to see if any errors are being generated?

Also are you subscribed for the instrument and can receive live/historical tick data?

One final item, because this change was to Initialize, have you removed the script from the chart and then re applied it, or had you only F5/reload all NinjaScript? If you have only used F5, that would likely not allow the Initialize code to be run again, instead try to remove it and re add it.


I look forward to being of further assistance.

Ah. Yes I am getting this error in the output window,
"Error on calling 'OnBarUpdate' method for indicator 'Renko50SMACross' on bar 0: Bar index needs to be greater/equal 0".

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.

Could you provide an export of the script as it is currently?

I am unsure of the result you are getting. The code you provided originally seems to work on my end, this could potentially be something else in the script. I could try to identify if that is the case, otherwise if that is not the case and it works on my end, it may be data related.
